SARAH JESSICA PARKER: ' KIM CATTRALL ROW MADE SEX MOVIE BETTER'

"If I had thought it was any of my business at the time, what I would have said is, 'Isn't it okay for Kim to think the money wasn't right?'" Parker says in the new issue of New York magazine (on newsstands now).

She added, “Perhaps [Kim] was some kind of emotional psychic, because this way we made a better movie.”

Speaking of money, Parker shot down a reporter's theory that her character Carrie Bradshaw has an attraction, conscious or unconscious, to Big because of his big bucks.

"I really don't think money was a criteria [for their romance]," Parker insists. "It never would have occurred to her to take money from a man."

Parker says the movie — out May 30 — is about "love, silliness and also sadness and loss and disappointment.

"[You see] how friends are necessary and how at a certain point, no one can fix [your problems] but yourself," she adds. "That's the difference of where Carrie is now and where she was in her 20s."
